Our new car!

We finally got everything taken care of with the car situation. We bought our new car a few days ago and were really excited to return our fish bowl of a rental car. ;) We've wanted an Acura TL for awhile now and we are really happy we found what we wanted...just in the nick of time! :) Here are a couple pictures. Love you all!

Not so Merry Christmas...

On our way home on Christmas night Jake and I got in an accident. We were on the freeway when we hit some water and started to hydroplane. We swerved back and forth a few times and then our car flipped around facing the wrong direction and we hit the cement barecade. We just found out that the car is totaled. Right now we are driving a rental. Our insurance just paid off our loan and are sending us a check for the remaining amount. We are in a big hurry to buy another car because as soon as we get the check, we have to return the rental and are left with no car at all. This will probably be the only time I am in NO hurry to get a check in the mail. :) Anyway, we are both ok and that is the most important thing!

*CHRISTMAS!*

Santa paid us a visit on Christmas Eve.


Jake sporting his new jacket he got for Christmas. He sure looks handsome! :)

My new hoodie. Im obsessed with wings. I also got a necklace with a single wing to go with it. So cute! :)

Me and Jake at my grandma and grandpa's house.

Me and my cute aunt Torie!

Hanging with the family...

We went to my aunt Lori's house last night for dinner. We played games and laughed our butts off....of course! We always have so much fun. To our surprise, Jason, Lori, Jen, Tony and the kids were all in town.

Tiffany looked so darn cute in her hat. I look taller than her for once. haha

Me & Ellie! She is so sweet and has the cutest little voice. I hope I have a daughter like her!

Lori holding Trey.

Little Ellie! She kills me she's so cute!

Ellie giving loves to Gussie!

Thanksgiving Weekend!

Thanksgiving with my family is always amazing. The table is always filled with candles, wine glasses and delicious food. It is tradition to go around the table before eating and say what we are thankful for. It's always very emotional and really brings the spirit. Im always a little nervous when it's my turn because it's impossible for me to hold back the tears. The whole family was in town this year and we all had so much fun.

Later that night my uncle Jason got out his guitar and sang for us. This is a HUGE deal because we haven't heard him sing in probably 15 years or something crazy like that. He used to be in a band and we all loved to watch him perform. He is such a great entertainer!

This weekend we all stayed at the Midway house. We played ping pong (I suck! haha), card games and then out of nowhere, my aunt comes flying down the stairs in a sleeping bag. Then everyone started doing it while Jason strummed his guitar really fast to the sound of the stairs. We couldn't stop laughing. It was such a fun weekend! My family is the BEST! :)

Good Things Utah!!!

Today Tiffany and I went to be in the audience at Good Things Utah. I absolutely LOVE Nicea, Reagan, Angie and Marti and have watched there show for several years so I couldn't get the smile off my face when they walked into the studio. They are all so beautiful in person!!! We took some fun pictures with them after the show.

Marti had to leave early and Reagan ran off at first so we took some pictures with Nicea and Angie.

Nicea's "silly" face ended up looking more sexy so we all did a sexy pose after...

Tiffany and I went and found Reagan so we could get a picture of all the girls. I thought Reagan was beautiful on TV but she is seriously breathtaking in person.

...and some more silly faces! We had so much fun with them. I can't wait to go back! :)

Last day at work...

Today was my last day at work so I took a few pictures. This is me and Gwen. Gwen is the new receptionist taking my place. We became really good friends while I was training her.

This is me and Ken-my buddy! He drives a silver volvo and I love him for that. :)

This is the poor bike that I sent off-roading one day while delivering mail. I broke the handle bar off and glued it back on. This is Ken "acting" like he is so sad about it. haha Goof ball!

Gwen was a Geisha. She looked sooo pretty! Her hair is down to her butt and she had it all wrapped up into a bun.

Sterling was dressed up as some kind of butt rocker and these were all of his real clothes. Haha. The mulett is just too cool!

HaPpY HaLlOwEen!

If you haven't read Breaking Dawn then don't look at this post. I don't want to ruin anything for you..... Im serious..... Ok Jake and I dressed up as Newborn Bella and Edward for Halloween. I had red contacts and a brown wig, Jake had butterscotch contacts and bronze hair (it ended up being more of a flaming red...oops) and we both had disgustingly pale skin. I actually got sick the morning of this party and the dress I was supposed to wear ripped down the side and the back was coming undone so I ended up just wearing a black dress. Anyways, these pictures are hilarious and so super ugly of me but I thought I'd give you all a laugh.... here ya go!


My cousin Tiffany dressed up as Victoria and she looked so HOT! She had leaves in her hair, red eyes and blood smeared all over her. My cousin Madison was Dorothy, Taylor was the Tin Man, my uncle Mat was the Scarecrow and my beautiful aunt Lori sure made an UGLY wicked witch. haha. My grandpa was dressed in leather with a fake mustash and long hair and my grandma was his dead biker chick! Ally bean was a little witch and Joey was...umm... Richard Simmons. No just kidding, but he was wearing an afro wig and short shorts. It was so funny!



My uncle Cal, aunt Tori, cousin Brianna and Broox were all Twilight Style Vampires and Zander was a muscular little hulk. So cute! Here is a cool picture of all of them decked out as vampires!
